BAH → TRV
Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Trivandrum International Airport (Trivandrum)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Persian Gulf coastline, the dramatic Dubai skyline in the distance, and a more detailed view of the lush Kerala coastline and backwaters upon arrival in India.
Persian Gulf Waters
Crystal clear turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the Bahraini archipelago shortly after takeoff.
UAE Coastal Cities
Distant but visible views of the Dubai and Sharjah skylines, including the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged, dark limestone peaks of the Hajar range crossing from the UAE into Oman.
Kerala Backwaters
As the plane descends, view the iconic network of lagoons and canals that characterize the Malabar Coast.
Trivandrum Approach
A sweeping view of the densely forested hills and urban spread of the city of Trivandrum during the final turn.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side provides the best angle for the 'Green Carpet' effect when entering Indian airspace, where the landscape transitions abruptly from the deep blue Arabian Sea to the vibrant green of Kerala.
Omani Desert
The vast, orange-hued sands of the Sharqiya region as the flight leaves the Arabian Peninsula.
Gulf of Oman Shipping
Dense clusters of oil tankers and cargo ships anchored off the strategic port of Fujairah.
Arabian Sea Horizon
An uninterrupted view of the sun reflecting off the ocean during the mid-flight crossing.
Southern Western Ghats
The southern tip of the mountain range that runs parallel to India's west coast, often shrouded in mist.
Cape Comorin Direction
Views looking south toward Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of mainland India, depending on the approach path.
The right side is excellent for sunset views on evening flights. While it offers more 'open ocean' time, it provides a unique perspective of the southern tip of India if the flight path takes a wide southern approach into TRV. Keep an eye out for the Sahyadri mountains during the initial stages of descent.
